Sounds like fun. I was pretty surprised that it didn't spin up a bit, it was really damp. :smt003

Anyway, snow has stopped play today. :smt011

Yeh I know what you mean, it was cold but sunny.
Moved the car out got the bike unchained and ready at the front of the garage. Wheeled it out and went to get my kit on,
Massive hailstorm, pushed the bike back in the garage.
Fast forward 30 odd minutes, sunny again so wheeled the bike back out and back to the house to get my kit on.
Repeat process.
After a while sunny again, repeat exercise, get back out, hailstorm for 3rd time so finally put the bike away and chained it up at just after 4pm.
Stays cold and sunny, but never even rains again! DooooooH.
Bloody weather.

Got down to the Raven to look at some old stuff (they call them classics but if that's the case why are they so bad?) and have a bacon sarnie and some tea to defrost my hands. My own fault for wearing summer gloves and, due to the front of our house being a sun trap and therefore always 5 degrees warmer than the rest of the planet, removing my jacket liner.

It was warmer riding home at midday but I don't think it got much above just cracking double figures all day.

The high bars are working well though. If I could sort the bloody misfire I'd be out all day. :smt002
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?
